Good thinking. I use rigid foam panels to contain light, but you can use anything. Painting your surface white helps a lot. My floors are white too. Any reflected light is beneficial to building a full canopy. It's a great idea to surround the plants, but leave the top exposed for air flow...

A picture is worth a thousand words in any language! Welcome to RIU

Great placement and structure. Looks effective. Maybe go a bit easier on the nutes. The flowering plants look a bit crispy on the tips. FF soil is hot especially with a ton of their bottled stuff thrown on top. Can stunt growth. Nice setup and veg looks awesome! Good luck with the...

Tiger bloom is the PK booster

Exactly what I did a few years ago, friend. They always had same strain and over priced and dried out and you can tell they only want your money. Unfortunate.

That would be rough. Any mention of specific 'tightening?'

I understand what you're saying now. I also didn't have any calyxes at nodes either. Just regular branching. I'm not trying to convince you or anything mate, just letting people know what I have seen. It wasn't one plant either, it was entire crops.

While I have been running seeds lately, I grew clone only strains for years and I should have said that some strains barely ever show sex. I have vegged ver months without seeing a pistil. But to call bs so fast was a surprise to me, that's all. No worries! Sometimes you won't see any...

Yes a 4x4 is what I use. Was using 1000w but get similar results with six and happy with cost vs yield and quality is high because it can be lowered fairly close without excess heat compared to the 1000. The main reason to use a 1000w HID is for trees. I had a few posts in grow journal but...

360w flower light?

That's awesome man! Respect for cob builds. I haven't done one yet but when material costs come down in a few years, I'll be all about it. For now, I was talking more along the lines of a 400w HPS with dimmable ballast. $100 for something that would out perform most small LED arrays. If...

Would work okay, but maybe like 20% less yield I would estimate. Nice idea! Movers can save a lot of energy!

That's true. Was high end LED an option for this grower? I was giving personal recommendation based on my experience with both HPS and LED. If you can afford top of the line, then it will be the best choice. Most people can't or don't want to. Nice robust forum, all!

Maybe a cool tube HID would be best if you're going to buy a whole new light.

Exactly!!

Not very nice but entitled to your opinion. I have seen it plenty of times haha peace

No

I understand now. I was under the impression that was your container size for one plant. It will be hard to pull a decent yield from something so small but if that is your desire, I would use 18w if you have any. They are the most energy efficient per lumen... If not, others work fine as long...

Well what kind of other lights do you have? Also, what color temp are the cfls? I would recommend a 400w HPS minimum with a dimmable ballast for small clone/seedling. If you can afford it, there is an excellent sale on 600w HPS w dimmable ballast on Amazon for 119.00 comes with cheap but...
